Defined in:
lib/rubocop/cop/rspec/instance_variable.rb

Overview

Checks for instance variable usage in specs.

This cop can be configured with the option ‘AssignmentOnly` which will configure the cop to only register offenses on instance variable usage if the instance variable is also assigned within the spec

Examples:

# bad
describe MyClass do
  before { @foo = [] }
  it { expect(@foo).to be_empty }
end

# good
describe MyClass do
  let(:foo) { [] }
  it { expect(foo).to be_empty }
end

with AssignmentOnly configuration


# rubocop.yml
# RSpec/InstanceVariable:
#   AssignmentOnly: false

# bad
describe MyClass do
  before { @foo = [] }
  it { expect(@foo).to be_empty }
end

# allowed
describe MyClass do
  it { expect(@foo).to be_empty }
end

# good
describe MyClass do
  let(:foo) { [] }
  it { expect(foo).to be_empty }
end
